The DiGiorgio Family Wines Coonawarra Vineyard  In March 2002 the DiGiorgio Family  became the proud owners of the  second oldest winery in Coonawarra.  This winery had been known since  the early 1950’s as ‘Rouge Homme’ and holds enormous importance   within the ‘winescape’ of Australia.  The 13.5ha of mature vineyard  surrounding the winery is planted on the famous ‘terra rossa’ soil of  Coonawarra.  These old vineyards have provided the DiGiorgio Family   with an invaluable source of premium grapes for their Coonawarra label.   The DiGiorgio Family Wines Coonawarra range is produced using   the best of traditional and modern winemaking methods.      Harvest Details  Variety  100% Chardonnay  G.I.  100% Coonawarra  Harvest Date March 2022    Bottling Details  Alcohol  13%  Bottling Date July 2024  Oak Handling 100% fermented in new and older French oak     for 11 months          Wine Details    Wine Style Full bodied white  Colour  Pale straw   Nose  citrus driven aromatics  Palate  A complex palate of white peach, grapefruit and     macadamia.

Cellaring will give further toasty   complexity. Drink with South Australian rock lobster served with a lemon  and fresh herb aioli.
